We read a newspaper article that investigated a slave owners plantation in Canada and how exactly slavery ended up being abolished in Canada. Then, I gave a lecture on The Underground Railroad. Students were assigned a performance assessment, where they were to take on the identity of an escaped slave and they were to write a letter to a loved one describing their journey and experience. This letter is due next class, on Friday.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif;font-size: 14pt\">1-1 S.S 8: We started a new unit &#8211; Democracy and the English Civil War! I gave a lecture on how democracy was created through the Magna Carta in England. Then, I talked about how the Tudors followed democracy, and the Stuarts did not. We discussed the Divine Right of Kings and how James I believed he was a descendant of God. Students then had to analyze a speech James I gave, and fill in the primary source analysis graphic organizer. Afterwards, they were to use their reading package to answer questions 1-3. Question 4 was a research question that they needed to use the internet for.
